Olaf, of Germany, teamed up with Jared Meehan to produce the film, â€œInto Perpetual Ice,â€ documenting the expedition of five kayakers seeking the adventurous whitewater possibilities of Greenland. The story blends the endless search for whitewater and the effects of major climate change on the remote, high latitude island. By applying his skills and passion for boating, along with his impressive experience in filmmaking, Olaf and Jared's film captured the audiences of the film festival and took home the title of the â€œBest Whitewater Film.â€

About Wave Sport:

Wave Sport was founded in 1997 with a dedication to all things whitewater, and that philosophy holds true today. For Wave Sport, paddling is a journey - over the course of a day, a year or a lifetime. Some journeys are destined for the chilled out fun of surfing a local, glassy wave, while the journey for others may culminate in a first descent of some remote and enormous drop. For those who believe that paddling isn't just an activity, it's a way of life, Wave Sport welcomes you to the ride. Join the Wave Sport Community at www.wavesport.com.
